Twenty-twenty-five will definitely go down as a chaotic year. But listen, I am not going to complain because it's not productive. Productivity, very difficult to achieve in any field without the freedom of creativity. Creativity is suppressed when worry and doubt are present. I read an article in Psychology Today recently called, How Anxiety Harms Creativity (And What to Do About It). You can find a link in the show notes. The article draws a correlation between anxiety and creativity that outlines why and how fear, exhaustion and doubt can hinder creativity. And how creative types can struggle from this. As a creative who speaks to other creatives, and for you, as a creative listening, we are in the same headspace, think about that for a minute. Designer Resources Pacific Sales Kitchen and Home. Where excellence meets expertise. Design Hardware - A stunning and vast collection of jewelry for the home!  - Where service meets excellence TimberTech - Real wood beauty without the upkeep We are all alone, together in the pursuit of meaning, creative expression, love and satisfaction. If you are in constant state of chaos and worry, how can you do your best work. We can't. Think about Convo By Design as a respite from the external chaos and a place to reconnect with others who are likeminded and in pursuit of the same things you are. And in that effort, today, you are going to hear from Dan D'Agostino, founder and principle architect at Plan Architecture. Dan and I talk about creative freedom and we go into the work they are producing at Plan Architecture. We go into it and one of the things I find so interesting about Dan and his firm is that the work is complex and covers multiple styles and influences. From traditional to modern and much in between.  In addition to external factors complicating the creative process, often, creative types will become fixated on signature style and often, it's not intentional. It just happens. Creative flexibility is a gift and one you will hear Dan and I explore along with a number of other topics. All in an effort to inspire you, spur creative thought and get you out of your head for a little while. So, let's get to it. Right after this. Thank you, Dan. Enjoyed this immensely. Thank you to my incredible partner sponsors, TimberTech, Pacific Sales, and Design Hardware. Amazing companies and great friends to the trade so please give them an opportunity for your next project.

Welcome to EO Radio Show – Your Nonprofit Legal Resource. I'm Cynthia Rowland, and this is episode 123 of EO Radio Show. In today's episode, I welcome back Jennifer Nelson, a Senior Wealth Manager with BNY Mellon. Jennifer and I recorded this episode on Friday, May 9, 2025, and this episode posts on Monday, May 19. The investment world looks quite a bit different today than it did in May of 2024 when Jennifer and I recorded a general investment policy planning episode—and it's even a bit different than just 10 days ago, with the public securities markets continuing to swing up and down, but not quite as dramatically as in early April. When we recorded 10 days ago, Jennifer remarked on the state of the market volatility at the time. While this past week has been a bit calmer, we've also seen new surprises. A major new tax bill came out of Congress, with some potentially dramatic tax implications for foundation endowments—another new factor for investment committees to take into account. And more international talks and agreements developed, with the on-again, off-again tariffs and perhaps stabilizing international agreements on the horizon. Jennifer's remarks provide insights for investment committees and board members during these turbulent times. I hope you'll find some useful tips in today's episode.

We've turned intuition into a buzzword—flattened it into a slogan, a gut feeling, or a vague whisper we don't always know how to hear. But what if intuition is so much more? What if it's one of the most powerful tools we have—and we've just forgotten how to use it? In this episode, I'm joined by Hrund Gunnsteinsdóttir, Icelandic thought leader, filmmaker, and author of InnSæi: Icelandic Wisdom for Turbulent Times. Hrund has spent over 20 years studying and teaching the science and art of intuition through her TED Talk, Netflix documentary (InnSæi: The Power of Intuition), and global work on leadership, innovation, and inner knowing. Together, we explore what intuition really is (hint: not woo-woo), how to cultivate it in a culture obsessed with logic and overthinking, and why your ability to listen to yourself might be the most essential skill you can develop. In This Episode, We Cover: ✅ Why we've misunderstood intuition—and how to reclaim it ✅ Practical ways to strengthen your intuitive muscle ✅ What Icelandic wisdom teaches us about inner knowing ✅ How to use intuition during uncertainty and decision-making ✅ Why trusting yourself is an act of rebellion (and power) Intuition isn't magic—it's a deep, internal guidance system that already exists inside you. The question is: are you listening?

Harley-Davidson in Crisis? In this episode of GarageCast, we unpack the growing tension between Harley-Davidson's board and CEO Jochen Zeitz. With Q1 numbers showing a -1.4% average dealer net profit and rising inventory losses, the stakes are high.

The fault lines in US-Mexico relations have never been more visible. Our expert panel—featuring former CNN journalist Bruno Lopez and economist Alejandro  Chaufen—brings decades of experience to unpacking one of North America's most crucial yet strained relationships.Recent polling reveals a shocking statistic: 80% of Mexicans now hold negative views of the United States. This represents a diplomatic crisis happening right under our noses, with consequences that stretch far beyond politics into the economic foundations of both nations. The $67 billion in annual remittances flowing from Mexican workers in America back to their homeland now hangs in the balance as deportation policies intensify.Our conversation travels through unexpected territory—from Chinese influence in Latin America to the paradoxical effects of border militarization. Rather than deterring migration, tighter borders have actually encouraged permanent settlement in the US, disrupting historical patterns of temporary labor migration that benefited both countries. Our experts make a compelling case for returning to more flexible work visa programs that acknowledge economic realities while respecting sovereignty.The security situation within Mexico emerges as perhaps the most troubling dimension of our discussion. With approximately 30-35,000 drug-related murders annually and vast regions under cartel control, Mexico's governance challenges directly impact migration patterns and cross-border relations. Yet despite these obstacles, Mexico continues to show remarkable resilience, with vibrant cities attracting a growing expatriate population of Americans seeking affordable living.Looking forward, our panel explores how the growing influence of Mexican-Americans—projected to be part of a Hispanic population representing 30% of the US by 2050—might eventually create new cultural bridges between these estranged neighbors. Despite current tensions, historical connections and economic interdependence suggest pathways toward reconciliation.Join us for this essential conversation about two nations whose futures remain inextricably linked despite the political weather of the moment.

As we continue this season's mentorship series, this conversation with one of my current mentors was as potent as I had imagined. Carmen Spagnola has been a support, guide, teacher and esteemed colleague for over 12 years, and I have benefitted greatly from her depth of presence, attunement, clarity and nuance. She has spent time with my mares Diva and Raven, and has recently, and excitingly, become the steward of two geldings. Her love and care for horses (and humans) spills forth in this conversation and in her many offerings.  In this conversation, we unpacked the concept of attachment theory, and specifically how secure attachment in any relationship can be facilitated by understanding and prioritizing contact nutrition, essentially nourishing ourselves and others through presence, attunement, co-regulation, safe touch, and empathy. How we interact with our horses, as fellow mammals, and their nervous systems, impacts the quality of our relational experince, and their sense of feeling safe, secure, and soothed. There are so many nuggets of goodness in this hour and it reminded me once again why I am so grateful to have Carmen in my life! Grab a tea, some chocolate, a shedding comb, or a manure fork, and enjoy this sweet chat.  Carmen Spagnola is a Le Cordon Bleu-trained chef turned trauma recovery practitioner, clinical hypnotherapist and kitchen witch. Carmen has taught intuition development and earth-based spirituality to hundreds in her online mystery school, The Numinous School, from 2013 - 2021, as well as retreats and workshops.

In today's episode, Bob ‘n Joyce pick up where they left off in episode 185, diving deeper into how leaders can navigate turbulent and unsettling times with intention and heart. The key? Leaders must first ground themselves before engaging in conversations about what the business needs to move forward. But how do you get grounded? Where do you start, and with whom? And how can leaders truly support their teams—not just to survive, but to thrive? Here are a few hints to guide the discussion: • Start by scanning the environment before jumping into action. • Never underestimate the power of a meaningful conversation. • Speak the truth—sugarcoating doesn't soothe, truth does. • Counter exhaustion by encouraging play and nurturing the system. Like episode 185, there are no neat bows here—just real, practical ideas to chew on. So come on in. Grab a soothing snack or beverage. Welcome!

In this post-Easter Sunday episode, we’re exploring how to stand firm in faith during seasons of financial turbulence. Drawing from Ephesians 4, we’ll reflect on a few powerful words that call us to maturity and unity, even when uncertainty tries to shake our confidence. These verses remind us that we are being equipped, not just for survival, but for spiritual growth and purposeful stewardship. Join me as we walk through this timely scripture and discover how your financial decisions can reflect peace, wisdom, and faith, right where you are.   In this episode, John discusses: Finding clarity and confidence in your financial decisions during uncertain times What scripture teaches us about stability, maturity, and wise financial stewardship The connection between personal spiritual growth and how we make our money choices How small financial habits can align with a greater mission, even in a volatile economy Key Takeaways: “Until” reminds us that our journey toward spiritual and financial maturity takes time, and every faithful step we take today—even in the face of uncertainty—is preparing us for something greater God is building in and through us. “So that” helps us shift our perspective from short-term fixes to long-term faithfulness, anchoring our financial decisions in a bigger purpose that brings unity, growth, and peace. “Rather” invites us to resist the pull of fear-based reactions and instead respond with intentional choices rooted in love, truth, and a commitment to becoming more like Christ. The most meaningful stewardship isn’t measured by dollar amounts, but by the posture of a heart that chooses faith, generosity, and trust—even when the market is shaky, giving may be small, or the future feels unclear. “Every dollar you manage, every money choice you make, is a discipleship decision. Every financial step you take is a chance to reflect God and His truth and His wisdom, or to be swayed by the fear that is in the world.”   CLICK ON THE LINKS BELOW MORE MONEY MADE FAITHFUL!

One Year Bible Podcast: Join Hunter and Heather Barnes on 'The Daily Radio Bible' for a daily 20-minute spiritual journey. Engage with scripture readings, heartfelt devotionals, and collective prayers that draw you into the heart of God's love. Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible podcast! In today's episode, Hunter takes us on a thought-provoking journey through the Bible. As we delve into Judges chapters 11 and 12, we encounter the story of Jephthah, a great warrior facing the challenges of rejection, leadership, and a heart-wrenching vow. We also traverse into Psalm 50, where God calls His people to genuine worship and thankfulness, and Second Corinthians chapter 1, where Paul shares about finding comfort amid suffering and the power of relying on God's presence. Hunter wraps up with heartfelt prayers and encourages us to lean on God's love and joy throughout our day. Join us as we explore God's word and reflect on how it speaks to our lives today. Let's dive in! TODAY'S DEVOTION: Given the option, I'll rely on myself every time. Given the choice, I'll hold on to control with the death grip until I reach the point of death. My guess is you know that grip well. Well, God wants us to go beyond the death grip and utter self reliance and move us into something entirely new. A life of dependence and trust in his presence. It appears in two Corinthians that God allows us to go through these near death experiences in order to break our grip and open our hands to his. Paul says that he thought he would never live through the difficulties he was experiencing. He said it was so bad he expected to die. The purpose of these experiences was that he would learn to stop relying on himself, and rather to trust in God who raises the dead. In other words, we learn to rely on the power of the resurrection, the power of Christ's presence with us, in us, to release our grip and hold on to him. There's no escaping suffering in this world and I wish that I could fully explain the meaning of suffering in our life, but I can't. But what I can do in the face of suffering and its reality is to look to the one who came and suffered with us and for us that he might give us hope beyond our suffering. That we might even have joy in life in the wake of our suffering. And God is still doing that even today. He's still suffering with us. That's the nature of love, to suffer with. The word compassion literally means to suffer with. God is the self-giving, radically forgiving, co-suffering one. That's the nature of his love. And when this love meets you at the deepest level, at your deepest loss, in your deepest shame, in your deepest wounds, he begins to mend you and to heal you and not only you, but those around you who are suffering. That's what Paul described here in verse six. He said, for when we ourselves are comforted, we will certainly comfort you. If you're suffering today and you have a death grip on those circumstances, open up your hand to His. Experience His love today and let Him begin to heal and mend and to make you new. That's the prayer that I have for you today. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose  through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen.   Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.   And now Lord,  make me an instrument of your peace.  Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon.  Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope.  Where there is darkness, light.  And where there is sadness,  Joy.  Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love.  For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life.  Amen And now as our Lord has taught us we are bold to pray... Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image. And nourishing us with spiritual food, now send us forth as forgiven people, healed and renewed, that we may proclaim your love to the world, and continue in the risen life of Christ.  Amen.  OUR WEBSITE: www.dailyradiobible.com We are reading through the New Living Translation.   Leave us a voicemail HERE: https://www.speakpipe.com/dailyradiobible Subscribe to us at YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Dailyradiobible/featured OTHER PODCASTS: Listen with Apple Podcast DAILY BIBLE FOR KIDS DAILY PSALMS DAILY PROVERBS DAILY LECTIONARY DAILY CHRONOLOGICAL  

If you ask any Christian about the life of Jesus, you're likely to get a version of one of the gospels of the New Testament - 90% of the story would concern the final few years of Jesus' life, with a brief mention of his birth in Bethlehem to a virgin and the subsequent flight to Egypt. Historians don't often talk about what Jesus' childhood and adolescence may have looked like, but my guest today is a welcome exception to that rule!
